little bit of heat from a hair dryer and a fingernail has worked for me in the past if it is just a vinyl sticker. It it is a plastic logoon tape, maybe you can try the same with dental floss to remove the logo and then some bug and tar remover to get rid of the residue.

As previously stated warm it up then peel or fishing line(dental floss) behind it and use something to remove residue.

This may be a little nit picking, but around 30 years ago I remember asking after I had struck a deal with a dealer on an automobile, how much more would he take off the sticker price for me to advertise his dealership on the rear-end of "my" vehicle, when he basically said nothing, I told him to remove it, and I have yet to have let any dealer advertise on my vehicles. I know, it's corny and nitpicking, but that's the way I've been with all my vehicles, no dealer stickers/decals.

I fully agree, an hour after the dealer was to close, and "my" car was brought back to me cleaned up, the Logo appeared. No one around at that time to remove it, If I return later they would gladly remove it. Just hoping to save a trip back to the dealer..Thanks,..Tom

Any dealer worth his salt, will not only understand us "car guys" but will probably be one. I have NEVER bought a car that had a logo on it. I will keep their plate until my tags arrive, but NO LOGO.

I really hate it when dealerships put their logos on cars. It's tacky and it doesn't benefit the owner one bit. The last two vehicles I bought at dealerships I had them removed prior to signing... or no sale!I'd just bring it back to them the next day and have them remove it since they managed to get it on there.

Luckily, the dealer where I got mine at understood that it was a vette. Instead of a body sticker tho, they did put the name of the dealer in small vinyl stickers on the back hatchback window. It was on the car for less than an hour.
